AG seeks declaration against Selangor ruling
PETALING JAYA: The Attorney-General’s Chambers filed an application at the Shah Alam High Court yesterday to declare null and void a circular by the Selangor government restricting the time and place at which Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers can question members of the state government and their staff. In a statement, the AG’s Chambers said it is seeking a declaration that the Selangor State Government Secretariat Circular No. 4 2009, dated July 28, concerning directives to attend interviews by the MACC to aid investigations is invalid and should be cancelled. An affidavit was also filed along with a certificate of urgency to get an early hearing date. The circular prohibits Selangor government staff from talking to MACC officers after office hours. A statement if taken, was to be taken in the presence of a lawyer.
Subra gets injunction against Samy Vellu’s son
KUALA LUMPUR: Seputeh MIC division chairman Datuk S. Sub- ramaniam obtained an interim ex-parte injunction from the High Court yesterday to restrain Vell Paari, son of party president Datuk Seri S.
